Create Intuitive System-Level Models Quickly and Easily
- Models built in a graphical environment with physical connections tend to be very intuitive
- Leveraging expertise of professionals in these domains can ensure model accuracy
Take Advantage of Built-In Domain Knowledge
- Accurate equations already exist for many components in physical systems, such as motors, valves, and clutches
- Setting parameters to realistic values is crucial to developing accurate models
Develop the Controller and Plant in One Environment
- Control algorithms designed with an inaccurate or nonexistent plant model is unlikely to work properly
- Having a common environment promotes team communication and shortens development cycles
Evaluate Designs Rapidly with MathWorks Physical Modeling Tools
- Developing efficient systems requires rapid iteration in order to improve initial design
- Utilizing parallel computing resources can facilitate the design evaluation
